Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for wireless communication are described. One or more peripheral devices may transmit a discovery beacon. The discovery beacon may indicate a first device state associated with the one or more peripheral devices. The discovery beacon may be received by one or more network devices. The one or more network devices may determine, based on the discovery beacon, a second device state associated with the one or more peripheral devices.

Abstract: An apparatus, such as a sensor device, may include a housing. The housing may include a top wall, bottom wall, and one or more side walls that define a cavity. A circuit board may be positioned within the housing. One or more chamber side walls may surround a portion of the circuit board and define a chamber within the cavity of the housing. A pathway may be provided that defines a fluid communication channel between the portion of the circuit board and an exterior of the housing. For example, a portion of the pathway may be provided along a perimeter of or through an activation member, such as a push-button or switch positioned along an exterior of the housing.

Abstract: A computing device may receive a signal from a first device and, based on the signal, determine a location of the first device. The computing device may determine that the first device is in motion, and may stop, while the first device is in motion, determining a location of the first device. The computing device may determine that the first device is no longer in motion, and resume determining the location of the first device.

Abstract: A first device is provided. The first device includes a first processing unit, wherein the first processing unit is adapted to determine a first status of a first connection between the first processing unit of the first device and a corresponding first processing unit of a second device; and a second processing unit, wherein the second processing unit is adapted to determine a second status of a second connection between the second processing unit of the first device and a corresponding second processing unit of the second device. The first processing unit is further adapted to: receive the second status of the second connection from the second processing unit of the first device over a path between the first processing unit of the first device and the second processing unit of the first device; and determine one or more actions to take with respect to a machine associated with the first device based on one or both of the first status and the second status.
